“…In order to improve energy efficiency and solve the internal problems of PoW, Ethereum decided to switch from PoW to PoS. This pivotal transition, known as "Ethereum 2.0" or "Ethereum Merge [7]," was implemented on September 15, 2022. Through this metamorphosis, Ethereum aims to accomplish superior energy efficiency, accelerated transaction confirmation times, and fortified network security.…”

This paper revisits the thorny issue of energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with the Ethereum blockchain, introducing the Ethereum network's strategic resolution for improving energy consumption and carbon footprint -the Merge. The main focus is transitioning from a Proof of Work (PoW) to a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm. Theoretically, we dissect the feasibility of transitioning from PoW to PoS consensus algorithms in ameliorating energy efficiency and carbon emissions. Additionally, we have amassed and curated data from relevant research bodies about this issue. Both theoretical analyses and institutional data underscore that Ethereum has begun to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions significantly.

“…The Polygon PoS Bridging technique, which combines a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism with Ethereum and Polygon Networks, is introduced in this study [14][15] [16]. Furthermore, to address interoperability concerns between healthcare institutions and guarantee patient privacy, a patient-centric multichain healthcare record (PCMHR) is presented, leveraging the Ethereum blockchain and smart contracts built on the Polygon multichain architecture.…”

In recent years, blockchain technology has drawn a lot of attention, especially in the field of decentralised finance (De-Fi). However, scalability problems have come to light as a significant obstacle to the broad use of blockchain-based applications. To solve the issue of scalability, this paper has created a decentralised finance application with three main components: the addition of more liquidity to the swapping application, the implementation of a Polygon Proof of Stake bridge to enable efficient asset transfers, and the ability to transfer tokens between accounts seamlessly regardless of network agnosticism. The first feature, network agnostic capabilities for interoperability, facilitates token transfers between blockchain networks, allowing users to access and transact across them with ease The second component, the Polygon Proof-of-Stake bridge, makes asset transfers more efficient by taking advantage of the Polygon network's scalability advantages, which drastically lower transaction costs and processing times. Finally, adding more liquidity to the swapping programme makes it more scalable by guaranteeing that there is enough money for transactions, which prevents delays and bottlenecks. The scalability issue with blockchain technology is efficiently resolved by adding these three characteristics to the decentralised finance application, creating new opportunities for the mass acceptance and utilisation of blockchain-based financial services.

“…Secondly, the initial search for this review was conducted before 15 September 2022. On that date, the Ethereum (ETH) network transitioned from proof of work (PoW) to proof of stake (PoS) in a process known as "the merge" [71]. As a result, all simulations in the ETH network before that date may be considered obsolete.…”

Blockchain for the Healthcare Supply Chain: A Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2023

A supply chain (SC) is a network of interests, information, and materials involved in processes that produce value for customers. The implementation of blockchain technology in SC management in healthcare has had results. This review aims to summarize how blockchain technology has been used to address SC challenges in healthcare, specifically for drugs, medical devices (DMDs), and blood, organs, and tissues (BOTs). A systematic review was conducted by following the PRISMA guidelines and searching the PubMed and Proquest databases. English-language studies were included, while non-primary studies, as well as surveys, were excluded. After full-text assessment, 28 articles met the criteria for inclusion. Of these, 15 (54%) were classified as simulation studies, 12 (43%) were classified as theoretical, and only one was classified as a real case study. Most of the articles (n = 23, 82%) included the adoption of smart contracts. The findings of this systematic review indicated a significant but immature interest in the topic, with diverse ideas and methodologies, but without effective real-life applications.
